This has helped me a lot over the past several months, just to put a "temporary unlock" to the places I go on my break. The options panel runs really really slow, but it could be because of the size of my todo-txt list (1435 lines), and could be other extensions that are causing problems (I've noticed the slowness in other extensions that manage other lists), but the response time is like 5 seconds after clicking and typing. The other problem is that I can't get it to properly drop completed items into a "done" list, and I only get blank lines. Even changing the name to the default done.txt has not helped. A cosmetic issue is that very long descriptions of tasks get truncated in a funny way, and I wish the buttons were on the top, not the bottom, so I can quickly skip through each item that comes up that I'm choosing not to do now.

I love this! I am so much more productive with it. I also feel so much saner by limiting my time scrolling through social media crap. I now use this exclusively for my to-do list.
